Rewind: The Letter


Taking you all the way back to 1967, have a listen to The Letter performed by The Box Tops.

I first heard this song covered in an episode of Hellcats by the gorgeous Aly Michalka and instantly adored the meaning of the words and the swooning melody. However, i had not pursued the original version until i watched the 1960's film 'The Boat That Rocked' and discovered this beauty of a song. I am in adoration over the gravelly voice of the lead singer Alex Chilton; it's so endeering and has such a unique quality to it. Such a classic song.

Oh! And a mahoosive thankyou to my followers, i hope i can post more of the posts you enjoy :)
